Maybe every one of us knows about Harry Potter, because the boy is so famous around the world. But if you have the same name as him, you may have trouble.
一位78岁的老人也叫哈利&波特。Each time a new Harry Potter book or movie came out, the old man started getting phone calls from children.
“The kids want to know if (是否) I’m Harry Potter,” the old man said with a smile. “I tell them that I’ve been Harry Potter for nearly 80 years!” He always has fun doing that. But in fact, he hasn’t had time to read any of the J. K. Rowling’s books or watch the movies.
Meeting a real Harry Potter can be a little strange for the kids.
“They can’t relate (使有联系) the one in the book to the one they have seen here. I guess I could buy me a pair of Harry Potter glasses,” he said, laughing.
根据短文内容，完成下列任务。
根据短文内容简要回答问题。
1. Why do many children give phone calls to the old man?
2. What does the old man think of talking to the children?
3. How may the children feel after they see the old Harry Potter?
4. 将划线句子翻译成英语。
